2 LIPID - Background In patients with CHD and a broad range of cholesterol levels, cholesterol-lowering therapy reduces the risk of CV events, but the effects on CV mortality and overall mortality have remained uncertain.In patients with CHD and a broad range of cholesterol levels, cholesterol-lowering therapy reduces the risk of CV events, but the effects on CV mortality and overall mortality have remained uncertain.

17 LIPID - Risk Reduction in Prespecified Subgroups With respect to the combined endpoint of death from CHD and nonfatal MI:With respect to the combined endpoint of death from CHD and nonfatal MI: –There was no evidence of significant heterogeneity (P > 0.08) of the treatment effect in any of the subgroups defined by sex, age, initial lipid levels, and the presence or absence of other risk factors, (i.e., hypertension, smoking and diabetes) –The reduction in risk with pravastatin treatment in each subgroup was consistent with the overall 24% reduction in risk for the entire cohort.

18 LIPID - Summary of Results Over a period of 6.1 years, in 48 patients for every 1000 randomly assigned to treatment with pravastatin the following events were avoided (with allowance for multiple events in each patient) :Over a period of 6.1 years, in 48 patients for every 1000 randomly assigned to treatment with pravastatin the following events were avoided (with allowance for multiple events in each patient) : –30 deaths –28 nonfatal MIs –9 nonfatal strokes –23 episodes of CABG –20 episodes of PTCA –82 hospital admissions for unstable angina N Engl J Med 1998;339:1349-57

19 LIPID - Conclusion Pravastatin therapy reduced mortality from CHD and overall mortality, as compared with placebo, as well as the incidence of all prespecified cardiovascular events in patients with a history of MI or unstable angina who had a broad range of initial cholesterol levels.Pravastatin therapy reduced mortality from CHD and overall mortality, as compared with placebo, as well as the incidence of all prespecified cardiovascular events in patients with a history of MI or unstable angina who had a broad range of initial cholesterol levels.
